MMWandali:Why did this couple come to the priest when they knew they were already husband and wife? |

Nuheights:Exactly, This is the problem with this ceremony. It would have been okay if the couple requested for a Church Blessing Ceremony rather that a Wedding Ceremony. Unfortunately, the it is fraud to tell a pastor to join you in marriage when you are already married. What then is the pastor doing? 1 Like |

Iseoluwani:1. Are you saying that the only valid kind of wedding ceremony is traditional? 2. Why did this couple come to the priest when they knew they were already husband and wife? |

Tallesty1:I have friends who didn't move into their matrimonial homes until they did their white wedding. Some stayed as long as three months. In my mind I was like "which kind of colonial mentality is this??" but I kept silent before they tag me the worst 'sinner' in the world. |

The society determines when marriage is said to have occurred. In this case, there is clearly a disagreement between the religious and traditional aspects of the society on when marriage is said to have occurred. As this fight of superiority between the two continues, anybody who pitches tent with either is right. The bride's father is a wise man. He sent a clear message...stating where his tent is pitched |

Preists joining couples is not even biblical. The moment your spouse's parents or anybody they reckon as having authority over them gives the go ahead, omo marriage don start be that. All of these new age rules were created by man to abrogated more power to themselves. 1 Like |

TenQ:Religiousness of the people Mind you it's different from Godliness |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by TenQ: 12:52pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
Exceed15:So, why did the Father follow his wedded children to the church and what was supposed to be the function of the priest? |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by TenQ: 12:54pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
MMWandali:I agree! But they came to the priest for a wedding ceremony and not a blessing ceremony. If they had told the priest that they were already married, would he have the right to pronounce them husband and wife for the second time? |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by TenQ: 12:56pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
seeme2:This authority include the priests doesn't it? If a court clerk can join people in marriage, I how much more their pastors. By they way, What did they go to church to do knowing that they were already married? I don't understand! |

TenQ: rule one is it in the bible in biblical hermeneutics there is what we call rule of first mention |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by MMWandali: 1:03pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
TenQ:They were already married under native law and custom Whatever was done by the priest is only ceremonial rite of religion and not essential for the validity of the customary marriage |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by TenQ: 1:08pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
Iseoluwani:Is court/civil wedding in the Bible? Is it thus Biblically illegal? |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by TenQ: 1:10pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
MMWandali:Did they tell the priest that they want him to my to join them in marriage or to just perform a meaningless ceremony or for church blessing What was their purpose for coming to the priest? |

In the eyes of Men, the court wedding is the the legally recognized wedding worldwide. That's why divorce proceedings only take place in court. In the eyes of GOD, the traditional wedding is the spiritually recognized one. The marriage of a couple is supposed to be an agreement between the two families... with the Bride price been the token of the Bond. This is specified in the Bible. The White wedding is the white man equivalent of the Traditional wedding. For us Africans it's more of a symbolic spiritual blessing of the marriage that have already taken place. The complexity of it all is we end up doing 2-3 weddings to fulfill all requirements of society. |

TenQ: U have a point o. There's a role of parents( traditional and church in marriage proceedings. The father has given his blessings and the pastor too need to uphold the church procedure to pronounce them man and wife in the presence of the people. |
Re: Cleric, Bride’s Father Disagree On Who Should Declare Marriage Has Taken Place by ojtopsy: 8:53pm On Sep 16, 2023 |
Exceed15:He has no point. Church can not pronounce anyone husband and wife. It's a mere publicity. Nothing biblical about it. Just part of the arrogation of power through the back door. Family pronounce. Court registers and church blesses and publicize it. That's the logic . |

Exceed15:Actually, if the couple see the traditional wedding as their last wedding rite, they should request for church blessing NOT another second Marriage. It is wrong to tell a priest to join you in marriage that is worth nothing. Any priest who does a useless wedding does not know his job 1 Like |

Iseoluwani:Is "traditional wedding" in the Bible? Did the Bible give rules of performing traditional weddings? Is a civil wedding unbiblical? |
